退役軍人的痛苦, 他們不能適應返回社會的生活, 對他們的影響甚大, 令他們悲憤 ... 5. THE HERO'S RETURN Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about?
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape
When I was their age all the lights went out
There was no time to whine and mope about
And even now part of me flies
Over Dresden at Angels One Five - 飛行員暗語: 德國, 德斯敦市 Dresden, 飛機 Angel, 高度15,000呎
Dresden to-day
Dresden after the bombing raid WWII -wikipedia
Though they'll never fathom it
Behind my sarcasm desperate memories lie
Sweetheart, sweetheart, are you fast asleep?
" Good "
That's the only time that I can really speak to you
And there is something that I've locked away
A memory that is too painful
To withstand the light of day
And when we came back from the war
The banners and flags hung on everyone's door
We danced and we sang in the street
And the church bells rang
But burning in my heart
The memory smolders on
Of the gunner's dying words on the intercom - 父親任機槍手 Gunner

ROGER WATERS:
"這是無力感的悲哀, 像 Algeria "亞爾及利亞"或南美一些國家, 面對一些恃勢凌人的掌權者時, 如跟他們說: "你們不可以這樣的, 否則我會報警 !"
他們立刻回答你: "甚麼? 我就是警察了!" 。這樣, 你開始走進噩夢了, 世上最珍貴的, 就是任何人都不可以主宰你的命運" 6. THE GUNNER'S DREAM Floating down Through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream, I had a dream
Good-bye Max, Good-bye Ma
After the service, when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream
Oi!
A place to stay, A real one!
Enough to eat, I know that, what about John?
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more, no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
1982年 "IRA愛爾蘭共和軍" 在 Hyde Park 海德公園的 British Army Military Parades 受到目不忍睹的恐怖血腥炸彈襲擊 And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children any more
No-one kills the children any more
Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed

戰後幸存的軍人, 面對苦悶的生活, 酗酒度日, 以酒精去麻醉戰後的失落感。 7. PARANOID EYES - " With background effects 原曲配上酒吧內不同人等的聲效 " Button your lip and don't let the shield slip
Take a fresh grip on your bullet-proof mask
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
You can hide hide hide " Hello C—, how are you tonight? " Behind paranoid eyes
You put on your brave face
and slip over the road for a jar - 啤酒 beer Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You can hide, hide, hide " ...bring in the rest of 'em."
" Tell you what mates, I'll give you three blacks, and play you for five or up." Behind petrified eyes " Ta! You was unlucky there, son." You believed in their stories
of fame, fortune and glory
Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high
And you hide, hide, hide " Taggart! Lost! " Behind brown and mild eyes " Oi ! "

THE FINAL CUT
後戰爭期的 "安魂曲" ....
"THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL HOME"
一個暴君或獨裁者, 像小孩子玩弄他的雕塑士兵玩具一樣, 去看待與操控人們的生命, 這些對生命漠不關心的戰爭發動者,
同樣以 "FINAL SOLUTION 终極方案" 去對待他們好了。
http://youtu.be/AqonCo0A68o
這段憤怒的歌詞以 Roger 的父親 Fletcher 命名, 表達他對所有戰爭的唾罵。 9. THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL HOME Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home
A little place of their own
The Fletcher Memorial Home
For incurable tyrants and kings
And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit TV
To make sure they're still real
It's the only connection they feel

meat packing glitterati." 拉丁美洲的獨裁者
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?'
They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles
And abuse themselves playing games for a while
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
With their favorite toy
They'll be good girls and boys
In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial wasters
of life and limb
Is everyone in?
Are you having a nice time? Good-bye!
Now the final solution can be applied
1942年, 德國納粹於 " Wannsee Conference 萬湖會議 " 决定所有在德國佔領土地的猶太人,
被驅遂與滅絕的計劃, 因此成為大屠殺歴史的 " 终極方案 Final Solution "。
http://youtu.be/P1EOYcm1GYs 10. SOUTHAMPTON DOCK They disembarked in '45 1945年, 二戰告终
And no one spoke and no one smiled
There were too many spaces in the line
And gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial knives
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock 英國首相 Margaret Thatcher
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock
Clings to her wet body in the rain
In quiet desperation
Knuckles white upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys good-bye again 上陣軍人
And still the dark stain
Spreads between their shoulder blades
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves 陣亡戰士
When the fight was over
We spent what they had made
But
In the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut
http://youtu.be/WKKOsVS3VQ4
整個專輯要進入完結的階段, 退役軍人所受到後戰爭期的影響, 又道岀自少年時對性的幻覺, 所產生對異性的恐懼和憂慮,
漸漸遠離群眾, 築起自己的圍牆, 躲進一個黑暗的空間, 以武器作防衛, 精神快要崩潰, 消極和脆弱的狀態, 處於失控至心存自殘的地步,
幸有電話鈴聲的呼喚, 著他自問何來勇氣作 "终極的了結"。 11. THE FINAL CUT Through the fish-eyed lens
Of tear-stained eyes,
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high
In clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down
to the hole in the ground
Where I hide
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
and beat the dogs
and cheat the cold electronic eye
and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
dial the combination
open the priesthole
and if I'm in, I'll tell you
What's behind the wall.......
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping
with your new-found faith
Could anybody love him?
Or is it just a crazy dream?
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me
Tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
and show you my weak side,
What would you do?
Would you sell your story
To Rolling Stone?
would you take the children away,
and leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
as you whisper down the phone
Would you send me packing
or would you take me home?
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade
With trembling hands
Prepared to make it, but...
...Just then, the phone rang...
...I never had the nerve
To make the final cut
"Hello? Listen, I think I've got it. Okay, listen its a HaHa!"

歌曲中的 JOHN 衹是英國人的自稱! 12. NOT NOW JOHN - David Gilmour/ Roger Waters . . . OK, listen, it's a . . . (laugh)
Fuck all that, we've got to get on with these Fuck all that, Fuck all that
Got to compete with the wily Japanese
There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees Fuck all that
So fuck all that, we've got to get on with these Got to get on with these
ROGER WATERS:
Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry, make 'em dance in the aisles
Make 'em pay, make 'em stay, make 'em feel okay
Not now John, we've got to get on with the film show Got to get on, got to get on
Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow Rainbow, the rainbow
Who cares what it's all about as long as the kids go As long as the kids go
對電影媒介的厭惡, 不滿電影製作的方針, 為求利潤, 將戰爭的嚴肅問題, 以戲劇化去演譯, 不理會對小孩的教誨。
So not now John, we've got to get on with the show Got to get on, got to get on
Hang on John, I've got to get on with this Got to get on, got to get on
Don't know what it is, but it fits on here like this
Come at the end of the shift, we'll go and get pissed
But not now John, I've got to get on with this Got to get on with this, Got to get on
ROGER WATERS:
Hold on John, I think there's something good on
I used to read books but
It could be the news or some other amusement
It could be reusable shows
在後戰爭期, 很多文化被丟掉, 教育隨著電視質量每况愈下, 人們變得更無知與天真, 很容易被媒體控制。
Fuck all that, we've got to get on with these
Got to compete with the wily Japanese Got to get on, got to get on
No need to worry about the Vietnamese
Got to bring the Russian bear to his knees Got to get on
Well, maybe not the Russian bear, maybe the Swedes
We showed Argentina, now let's go and show these Got to get on, got to get on
Make us feel tough and wouldn't Maggie be pleased
nah nah nah nah nah nah!
One two three four
S'cusi dove il bar? - Italian
Se parakalo, pou einai to bar? - Greek
S'il vous plait ou est le bar? - French
Oi! Where's the fucking bar, John? - English Got to get on, Not now John, we've got to get on
"THE FINAL CUT"
後戰爭期的 "安魂曲" ....
"TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET" F@@KING EMI
" THE FINAL CUT " 全專輯的前12首歌曲, 主要是關於過去人們所背叛的行為, 但最终仍要關心我們的未來。
結尾的 "TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET" 是 Roger Waters 改變他的概念, 不以 "THE WALL 迷牆" 的後續篇而撰寫的歌曲,
以80年代的歌詞, 可預見今天的政治局勢, 敵我對恃, 環保問題, 但願不要見到核能帶來浩劫的一天, 給人類滅絕。
http://youtu.be/tJ7AXhw-Hu4 13. TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET - Cover Version In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the Holocaust to come
The rusty wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way, and suddenly it's day again
The sun is in the east CHINESE COMMUNIST MAO ?
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset US? / CHINA?
Could be the human race is run
Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck Oh, no!
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear
And you'll never hear their voices Daddy, daddy!
And you'll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law any more
And as the windshield melts
And my tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend
Finally I understand the feelings of the Few
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end !
From Radio:
Nuclear missiles... the head of the US... and now the weather — tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers,
spreading... most of the home counties by late afternoon; a light fog, with an expected high of four thousand degrees Celsius...
ROGER WATERS :【 我以 "THE FINAL CUT" 此專輯來表達當年的不滿, 對一個福利社會, 未能邁進一個以互相關懐,
自由開放的國家而感失望, 就是因為首相 Margaret Thatcher 的鐵腕手段, 將人民原有的福利大大削減, 勞工失去工會的後盾, 弱勢更被踐踏,
令貧富差距更大之下, 返回 "狄更斯 Charles Dickens" 年代的社會。英國政府理應走到外交之路, 不應將武力用於南大西洋的海上 ! 】
DAVID GILMOUR :【 我甚感內疚, 當年對撰寫這專輯的歌曲時的散漫態度, Roger 的催促, 我衹稱未有靈感來托辭。
没有我的参與, 可足見這專輯仍是成功的作品之一 ! 】
E N D ............ BECAUSE THE COPY RIGHT WITH EMI, SORRY FOR ALL !
